Liverpool Are Prepared To Launch A Fresh Move For This Crystal Palace Defender: Should Slot Snap Him Up? | OneFootball

In a recent interview with Football Insider, former scout Mick Brown revealed that Liverpool are prepared to launch a fresh move for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi. Brown said,

“All of the talk at Liverpool has been about Isak at the moment.

“But from what I’m told, Marc Guehi is still very much on their radar and I’d expect them to make a move before the end of the window.

“I think they regard Guehi as just as important as Isak in terms of the benefit to their squad.

“They’re not totally convinced about Konate, he makes too many errors and could be on his way out when his contract runs out next year.

“They’ve let Jarell Quansah go, and Joe Gomez isn’t going to be the long-term answer at centre-back.

“If they’re going for every trophy available to them, they can’t afford to take chances at the back, and Guehi would represent a very good addition for them.

“He’d be a top signing and I expect they’ll be ready to make a move at some stage.”

Guehi’s Excellent Form In The Premier League Last Season

Guehi had a great season at the London club recently as he put in a lot of influential displays for them on the defensive end of the field. The England international played in 44 matches for the Eagles in the previous campaign, netting three goals and securing two assists across all competitions.

The 25-year-old gave a good account of himself when defending inside his half after he made 61 tackles, 55 blocks and 28 interceptions in Premier League football. He was even careful when distributing the ball from the back, as evidenced by his pass success rate of 83.5% in the English top tier (stats via fbref.com).

Should Liverpool Boss Arne Slot Snap Guehi Up This Summer?

Guehi is a good tackler of the ball and doesn’t mind clearing the danger when needed. He can scan the danger well to make some crucial interceptions for his side on the defensive third of the pitch.

The English sensation can even play his way out from the back. He is currently one of the best centre-backs in the Premier League. Therefore, it will be a great move for Liverpool if they can lure Guehi to Anfield this off-season.

Guehi would no doubt enhance the quality of Arne Slot’s defence. He could even go on to form a solid partnership with Virgil Van Dijk at the Merseyside club.

At 25, Guehi will only get better in the coming years. Thus, the Reds should focus on snapping him up before the end of this transfer period.
